While we know there will be a new kid oriented line coming to shelves this year with Cyberworld, Earthspark has some new toys too and fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999 has reviews of them for us. Those include Smash Changers Megatron, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Thrash along with Tacticon Starscream.

Smash Changers work the same way as a spring-loaded One-Step changer but all the transformations are activated by pressing down firmly on the rear of the vehicle. Of the four I enjoyed Megatron and Thrash the most, but all of them would make for fun desk toys.

Looks like Earthspark is going out with a bang as Hasbro will be releasing 2 new molds for their deluxe line up: Soundwave and Hashtag. While Hashtag does look similar to the Takara warrior upgrade, it is a new mold. The similarity is only due to the fact that the toys represent the same character in their new truck alt mode. Soundwave is a nice blend of the G1 character and his Cybertron self. This comes to us from In Demand toys, let us know what you think.

Typical of E.S, #'s face is uncanny and creepy. Soundwave look good enough, but his "bell-bottom pants" look weird and rad at the same time.
This makes me want buy it to make a groovy-soul Soundwave custom.

I wonder who will get them first, Japan or America.

And neither of these will actually be sold in stores because brick-and-mortar stores have just given up on EarthSpark as the excess of 2022/2023 toys continue to clog the shelves going unsold.

Still haven't found a Thrash to go with my Twitch. These both look good, but I have to wonder if they'll even be available anywhere.

Oh yeah. So in the right way his legs will really look like bell-bottoms. Nice.

I'll get both. Most of the brand-new (i.e. not recycled from Cyberverse) EarthSpark Deluxe molds have been surprisingly well engineered for a toon line, haven't bothered getting toys from the "kiddy" lines since Prime.
Not sure if Cyberworld can beat EarthSpark.
